St Augustine’s First Holy Communion Programme The First Holy Communion programme at St Augustine's begins on 12th February 2019 with the Enrolment Mass on the previous Sunday, 10th February. If your child does not attend St Augustine's school and you wish him/her to take part in the programme, please speak to Sr Philomena or Diane Flynn. Your child must be baptised and must be Year 3 level. St Augustine’s Cake Sale There will be cake stall at St Augustine’s on Sunday 3rd February following the 11am Mass. Donations of cakes, homemade or shop bought will be gratefully received. Proceeds towards the Roof Fund. Working together as parishes; for a couple of years, our parish has been looking at how we can work together with neighbouring churches, in particular bringing together Sacred Heart Carlton, Our Lady & St Edward's in Thorneywood and St Augustine's on Woodborough Road. Although we are separate parishes, we are so close together it seems to make sense to explore how we can work together on different aspects of parish life. To help move this forward, a small group of representatives from each parish will be meeting at the beginning of February to start looking at the possibilities. More information will come to us all after this meeting and there will be opportunities for us all to be involved in the discussions.

Hospitals If you have a relative or friend go into QMC or City please inform the Chaplaincy Dept., via ward staff or your parish priest and request a visit. QMC: 0115 9249924 ext 63799. City: 0115 9691169 ext 56187. Today: The next time you are at a funeral, pay particular attention to the readings, and to the words that are spoken. These readings, these words, are meant for you, and not for the person who has died! What’s the point in reading the gospel to a lifeless corpse in a coffin? The same goes for today’s gospel. The people who were in the synagogue all those years ago are well dead by now! Today’s gospel is meant for us….right here, today. Yes, it is important to remember that the gospel is now, and I am every person in it. Right here, right now, Jesus tells us that these words are “being fulfilled today even as you listen.” The words of Jesus are anointed by the Spirit, and when his words enter the heart, the Spirit enters with them. Words, of themselves, have no value. I meet people who ask me how I am and I don’t always tell them, because I know, that they really don’t want to know! However, someone else may ask me the same question, and, because of the spirit of concern in the question, I may well sit down and answer the question (often in such detail that they are sorry they asked me!) If we are open to the word of God, anointed by the Spirit, then all of us are listening with great openness to what the Lord wants to say to us. God will never disappoint us. If you don’t expect to hear something that will profoundly affect your life, then, you can be sure, that you will not hear it. If, on the other hand, you open your heart with a whispered “Speak Lord, your servant is listening,” then you can be certain that your heart will be touched, that the spirit will be healed, and that your day will be anointed. The Christian life should be a live drama and the value of Christianity lies in its witness. You write a new page of the gospel each day, by the things that you do, and the words that you say. People read what you write, whether faithful or true. What is the gospel according to you? Jesus came to do and to teach – in other words, he did the thing himself first, and then he taught his disciples to follow his example. A good example of this was when he washed the disciples’ feet at the Last Supper. You and I are called to live the gospel. You may be the only gospel someone will read; they may never buy the book. (MB) St Barnabas Cathedral, Nottingham wins National Lottery support to celebrate its 175th Anniversary The Nottingham Roman Catholic Diocesan Trustees have received a National Lottery grant of £71,100 for an exciting heritage project, Discovering Pugin at Nottingham Cathedral. Made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, the project focus on the architectural history of the building as it turns 175 in August 2019. The Cathedral are working in partnership with Nottingham Trent University to undertake cutting edge scanning of the building to measure it and find out about the historic paint scheme which may still survive under later layers of paint. They will also be developing school activities and running events for the public to celebrate 175 years of the building. More information about how local people can get involved will be released shortly. The Cathedral Church of Saint Barnabas was constructed from 1841 and dedicated to St Barnabas in 1844. It became one of the first new Catholic in the country in 1850. It is listed Grade II* and was designed by AWN Pugin who was responsible for the 19th Century redesign of the Houses of Parliament. Fr Malachy Brett, Dean of the Cathedral said: “We are really delighted to have been awarded this funding as it will allow us to involve so many more people in the celebrations of the Cathedral’s anniversary. We hope that the Discovering Pugin Project will help us engage with the wider community in Nottingham and get their ideas for how we can best promote the heritage of St Barnabas in the future.” Heritage Lottery Fund said: “We are pleased that thanks to Lottery Players we have been able to support this fascinating project to explore the history of Nottingham’s Catholic Cathedral.” Parish Finances Last Week Last weekend’s St Augustine Cathedral Thank you for your collection for the Loose Plate £ 299.34 £ 1,187.74 generosity to the work Sick and Retired Envelopes £ 135.00 £ 860.05 of the Church!

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

For single Catholic women and men in their 20’s and 30’s. For more information contact Sr Mary Bernard: [email protected] Robin Hood Youth Choir This new youth choir for children and young people aged 8 - 18 meets in Cathedral Hall on Wednesdays from 4.30-5.30pm led by Ellie Martin and Alex Patterson. The choir is the latest initiative resulting from our partnership with Nottingham Music Hub which last year saw the Cathedral Music Department working with over 1,000 children and young people in the city. The CYMFed Flame Congress takes place on 2nd March 2019 at Wembley Arena. This great celebration of Catholic faith, in a vibrant atmosphere, full of joy, with content presented in a way which resonates for all young people is a successful and well- established initiative. The theme for the day is ‘Significance’. Significance is defined as “worthy of attention,” “with meaning,” “important.” In terms of Scripture, it is a word which resonates deeply with God’s words from heaven at the Baptism of Jesus, and the Transfiguration, “You are my Beloved.” We are in a world where it’s easy to feel constrained to measure self-esteem in Twitter and Instagram “likes”, responses to Facebook status updates, and Snapchat conversations. We hope that Flame2019 offers a fresh depth of perspective for young people, centred in their creation in the image and likeness of God. For more details visit cymfed.org.uk/flame2019 Settlement Scheme for EU Citizens As you will be aware, Brexit is causing uncertainty and concern to many EU citizens living in the UK. Both and laity alike share this uncertainty and concern. Apart from those who are uncertain about their future, others are inevitably in a state of ignorance and unaware that Brexit will affect their immigration status. In March 2019, the Government is due to launch a Settlement Scheme. All EU citizens living in the UK will be required to make an application if they wish to remain here after Brexit. However, Irish citizens will not be required to apply as their rights are separately protected. Many parishioners, priests and religious in our Dioceses will be affected. We urge the whole Catholic community to take up Pope Francis’ call to welcome, protect, promote and help to integrate everyone who has made their home here, with particular concern at present for all our European brothers and sisters. Please encourage anyone you know whom Brexit will affect, towards the official information on the Settlement Scheme at gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families. Old Pound Coins If you have any old pound coins or foreign coins, please donate them to the Cathedral Restoration Fund. Thank you. A Cake Stall takes place in the Cathedral Hall on today (Sunday) following the 10am and 11.15am Masses. Everyone is welcome to come along and support the event. Proceeds are in aid of the Restoration Fund. First Friday Lunches will be served in Cathedral Hall from 12.00noon on Friday, 1st February. You are all very welcome, please feel free to bring a friend.
